I've got the weirdest thing going on. When my installer puts in an airBridge, he uses a public IP address on his laptop and has no problem logging into the airBridge, configuring it for its new IP address (192.168.7.x/255.255.0.0), setting it to the proper AP, etc, etc, etc.
On my laptop, I can never see an airBridge unless my PCMCIA card is on the 192.168.x.x subnet. Why's that? (he uses XP and I use Win98SE) And stranger still... My servers at the NOC can never see a radio that he programs. If I open up airBridge simpleMonitor and click the Search button, not only does his radios never come up on the screen, but they never show up in the arp -a list. What's up with that? Dittos for my laptop. When I plug my laptop into the switch at my NOC or connect wirelessly, I can never see the radios he programs. And yes, they do work! I can ping the client's *router*'s address, and *sometimes* their radio. ..but the radio doesn't come up on the search screen and it sometimes doesn't respond to pings. As soon as I plug in and program the radio (change it to a 192.168.5.x IP), voila! it shows up in any search screen (laptop, noc, whatever). I'm stumped. What's going on? (Tom..
